tekken3 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hey guys, If you were a summer research student, with an award, given out by a specific dept, would you list it under Award, Employment AND Research?? I.e. Award: NSERC Employment: Dept of Physiology Research: Summer Studnet @ Mol.Tox lab. Is this really overkill?? Putting down the same expereince under 3 categories. I understand the award can be separate...but should I choose between employment and research? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 i listed my nserc as an award and my research that i did as part of the scholarship under research... employment specifically says not to list research i believe... although i must admit, i know where you're coming from (if its the same thing i was thinking)... that there will appear to be a hole in your summer employment? i guess they figure a lot of people do research, and will note summer research employment in the research section also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 but should I choose between employment and research? I would choose research. Award already shows you were "employed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekken3 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, if you didn't really have a publication or what not from this research experience, would you still list it as research?? Also, what if you had a presenation/psoter as part of this program...can you list that as a separate thing under the category?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderpig Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, if you didn't really have a publication or what not from this research experience, would you still list it as research?? Also, what if you had a presenation/psoter as part of this program...can you list that as a separate thing under the category?? Well not all research leads to publication, but it's still very valid research. I would definitely say that listing one thing as three is overkill; I had thought before that an NSERC summer gig only went down as one thing - an award. Now that I know better I'll put it down as research and an award... but also putting it as employment is too much and may be viewed as deceptive. I was also wondering about the publication/presentation/poster/conference that is due to an NSERC experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
